Long Travel BS Thread

Quick question, My CV axles have a little play in them(back and forth, front to back) ever since I got the TC kit, just wondering if that is a known problem or if it is normal, My mechanic said they should have a little play and that it is normal.

 

Completely normal. If you have no give then the initial Torque into the axles would potentially be damaging causing some deformation in the axle shafts or breaking joints.

The give usually quite minimal though (a few thou) If you have a larger amount of movement then a joint could be blown but from what you're describing it seems unlikely.

 

wrong. R & B knows more than you

 

Thanks for the help! Always puts me at ease knowing my truck isn't going to blow up!

 

so im right......?

 

Called a shop today to ask about secondaries since Burg is closed. I was told by them that the factory bumpstop has to be removed in order to run secondaries.

From the info on here I dont have too.

Guess I will call Burg on Monday to ask.

 

He's being sarcastic. Look at the bump in that pic - its riding on the LCA at ride height.

 

I believe that's false

Doubles or triple bypass? Im gonna order up a set from Downsouth. Are the triples worth the extra money? Im going for more of an expo rig than dessert. They are the last piece that I need to finish the rear. Ive got the Defined SUA kit and the BuiltRight shock towers for the King shocks.
Im going with the TC +2 kit in the front if that makes any difference. I just got to bit the bullet and do this. Tired of looking at all the used shocks that wont work with my set up.

considering it... anyone interested in my 6" fiberwerx fenders? Im liking the Idea of the one piece more and more...

 

Should I run my shocks outside my frame? Pros, cons? I have a tundra rear axle.

 

Yes, you should

Running the shocks close to the wheel as possible is always ideal.

 

i run mine outside with same truck same axle... pro's it has better cotrol over the axle because its farther out, also it looks much better... con's if ur wheels dont have a low backspacing it can rub the shock slightly. mine rubs a hair. glad i did it tho...

 

uhh o guys... something is going on with the cab??....

 

i can see the cage alreadyy haha
